When I saw this on the internet some two days ago, my heart just went out for the 15-year-old boy in Miami, Florida who was set afire by five other friends including one 13-year-old! Michael Brewer was doused with rubbing alcohol and set on fire after he “snitched” on his friends to the police for stealing his father’s bicycle because he hadn’t been able to pay $40 for a video game. Michael’s body is now covered 65% with second and third degree burns. According to CNN, he lies in a bed “on a balloon-type mattress to reduce pressure on his burned body,” he is covered with bandages and a ventilator breathes for him because he can't do it for himself.

I just feel that we need to cover Michael with our most heartfelt prayers right now and include him in our urgent intentions as he struggles to survive.
